Play ball? Maybe they will after all

Thirty minutes ago, you could barely see out the press box windows. Now the thunderstorm has passed, the windows are open, Bugs Bunny cartoons are playing on the scoreboard and the grounds crew is on the field taking the tarp off.

They have a lot of work to do to clear the large puddles in the outfield. But the official announcement is that the new game time is 7:15 pm ET.

Here's something for you to chew on in the meantime -- Angels right-hander John Lackey will be going for his 100th victory tonight. He would be the fifth pitcher to win as many as 100 games in an Angels uniform.

The others:

Chuck Finley (165)

Nolan Ryan (138)

Mike Witt (109)

Frank Tanana (102)

Those guys would make a pretty good five-man rotation, wouldn't they? I mean right now.
